Paul McCartney Thrills Fans With Secret Gig

Sir Paul McCartney has given Covent Garden's buskers some stiff competition after performing an unannounced gig for shoppers.

Thousands of people gathered in the cobbled piazza in central London as the former Beatle performed a selection of new tracks from the back of a truck.

Onlookers started gathering at around 11am after they twigged the musician may be playing after spotting one of his flight cases.

The truck, which formed his makeshift stage, pulled into the square at about 6am, with stacks of speakers set up in front.

Stepping onstage at 1.30pm, he told the crowd: "Good afternoon and welcome to Covent Garden.

"We're just going to do a few songs from our new album so get your phones out - as if they weren't out already."

After playing his current single New, he joked: "I've always wanted to busk here."

Sir Paul memorably performed with The Beatles in January 1969 on the roof of the group's Apple HQ in London's Savile Row.

The performance follows a whirlwind week of promotion for his latest album, also called New, which has involved intimate shows and numerous TV and radio interviews.

Watching from the balcony of the nearby Punch & Judy pub were Sir Paul's children - fashion designer Stella and musician James - who later joined their father backstage.

During the 20-minute set, he also played newly recorded songs Queenie Eyes, Save Us and Everybody Out There.

Sir Paul said: "This is a bit of a change from the 60s. We'd have just been coming back from the clubs right now, never mind singing."
